Any altcoin with a good enough reputation is a good trading opportunity IMO. It just depends on whether you're able to take advantage of the basics of trading, to buy low and sell high. Still, the relationship between altcoins and BTC can mostly be seen with every decrease in price, since once BTC decreases its price, altcoins almost always follows, and the percentage is even closely similar to the drop of BTC itself. Guys , I'm NOT saying sell BTC to buy ETH , that is risky ( given what we expect from BTC over the next 12-24 months , and the unknowns around ETH ).
What I'm saying in the video is that - should you want to buy more BTC now ( as we're still in the accumulation phase ) , it might be a good idea to invest some funds into ETH , and when the ratio climbs , you swop for BTC , this way you get more BTC than if you invested directly into BTC.
And if the odds go down? Doesn't that mean you'd lose the profit you could've earned with directly investing on BTC? Also, its not like BTC would wait for the ratio with ETH before going down. Still, up to you. It's still unclear whats going to happen with BTC during the halving season after all.

I guess that is literally what buying eth is, basically you are talking about if you should buy ethereum and will the price of ethereum increase (versus bitcoin instead of dollars in this case) and that has been something people have talked about for years.
There are times ethereum increases bigger than bitcoin, there are other times when bitcoin goes up and eth goes down, nobody can deny that both possibilities are there.
However, there is no 100% guarantee that ethereum will go higher faster than bitcoin, that is something very risky and even tho possible very unlikely in a world where 90% of the time btc goes up alone instead of alts. Yes very recently there was a moment when both bitcoin went up and alts went up with it but that doesn't mean that will happen every time.

Yes , absolutely , then you lose , thats why I say in the video if you are investing $100 then invest most into BTC and the opportunity is to invest some of that into ETH to potentially gain this benefit if it goes up. Watch my calculation at the 9 min mark

Whatever your views on Ethereum, the fact is that the value of ETH to BTC is still very low ( even compared to historical performance ). Does this present a trading opportunity to perhaps buy more Bitcoin for your dollar ? ( By buying ETH and when the ratio goes up trade it for Bitcoin ? ) - There is some insight on this here : https://youtu.be/hY2m0HtAw7g This is also one of the ways of professional traders. I have tried such transactions and it only helps us get more bitcoins than we originally had. But really, if bitcoin does not grow, then it is considered that our efforts have nothing. Why don't you trade ETHUSDT and then use USDT to buy bitcoin at a more appropriate time? In general, the result is that we still want to earn more USD. So why trade with BTC?

Yes I do, I think eth and bitcoin become ratio present for trading opportunity but many time bitcoin look slowly going to higher price and eth keep stable with lower price, far away our expectation with ethereum can back with higher price until last day keep lower price and bitcoin never continue to grow up on higher price.

It was just all because of the market demand and supply. Some investors are just buying Bitcoin only and make ETH don't take a chance to move either... It is about time to think that Bitcoin isn't really correlated to Ethereum. Whatever it happens to Bitcoin we can no longer say that Ethereum will somewhat be affected too much.

There is always opportunity with any trading pairs if the ration doesn't stay the same all the time. If there is some deviation between the coins you could have an opportunity for buys or sells.

I think at first, or now maybe people still focus on BTC. Maybe after that, when ETH follow bitcoin to be pumped, and 2.0 coming, people's hype will changed to ETH, and with/without ICO, ETH can get it is own popularity again. I am still holding it now although people said that ETH wouldn't get pumped anymore.

ETH won't get pumped anymore? I don't think so. Let us see how its trend will change its course once Bitcoin will move forward. Its all been like that before and Ethereum will follow wherever Bitcoin moves side by side. I know people are so relying upon Bitcoin as halving event comes and Bitcoin demand will increase but I supposed to think also that Ethereum believers would never abandon this coin and move to Bitcoin. May this time is a good way to start investing in both Bitcoin and Ethereum. We don't get bothered of what we've heard FUDs around cause it most likely it will only give you a way to lose your focus in trading and doubt. Believe what you think is right and not by following the others (false) statement.

Believe what you think is right and not by following the others (false) statement. After the breakout of the ETH, there is new major resistance that was formed and it is in $160 area. The price is currently consolidating if you will use darvas box. I have current position in ETH and I will buy more if there will gonna be a breakout again because we should remember that if there is a breakout, the previous resistance will become support and it is a good sign of a healthy market. There are many opportunities to buy ETH and BTC, we are not just trained to have a skill to see this kind of opportunity. There are many trading setups that we can use to have a higher chance of winning rate. Right now the price of ETH resist at $180 where it also can be called as psychological resistance. We can do swing trades here as long as the price will consolidate in the area of value.

I choose fiat calculations rather than risking with altcoins for the reason of multiplying my bitcoin stash. Investment life is simple and I do not want to complicate it with uncalculated risks.
All altcoin trading and investments do not fall into the category of uncalculated risking as there are many good and real use-case based altcoins which are always good to invest and trade with. Ethereum must be one of them. They are good for long term investment even IEO is replacing the use cases of ethereum. I mean ethereum platform will find enough space against the tough competitions from IEO and BNB or EOS kind of new platform providers. You may be right with your approach but if you are successful and able to get good returns for your altcoin investments in terms of bitcoins then that would be a life changing opportunity rather than simply holding bitcoins for years.

I think its not a feasible idea right now, there are many traders who did this strategy in the past but trust me, Bitcoin has more potential than people think. Of course it is better than buy other altcoins which have allot less potential. Eth has good developments and updates this year and if everything gets successful then we may see ETh move above $1000. But Bitcoin halving is greater news than anything.

There's an opportunity in every dipping of eth and btc value, so to have the chance of accumulating more holding, don't ignore minor dumps. Grab every single opportunity in order to acquire huge profit.

The real performer here is BTC, no matter how you look at it, it is still performing very well if you're going to gauge it to its previous high. Why most of the alts, including ETH are -90%. So it doesn't make sense to look for trading opportunity other than BTC here, just saying.

I have eth and btc in my crypto portfolio and I think my eth hodling is enough and there's no need for me to add some since there's no improvement in the price for a while already.
But in btc we can see an increase in span of few months and due to the halving its better to accumulate more rather than spending it to buy alts.
We have to take advantage and be practical on the situation, btc is in the limelight and has a possibility to show improvement hence its just right to focus on accumulating btc.

In business everyone presents business opportunities Because now it is more profitable to invest in BTC than ETH. ETH has reached far better meaning than before but I think when it comes to high prices due to lack of market stability it is very difficult to determine its policy.

People do like ethereum a lot more recently, thats probably because of the ethereum hard fork (istanbul) and thats nice however the amount of interest shown into ethereum creates questions like these from newbies. I am a newbie friendly guy, the more people interested in crypto the better for us both because it increases the adoption rate but also because we are actually increasing the price with more people coming in and buying crypto as well.
Ethereum going higher than bitcoin is a viable option considering all these demand and interest and attention it is getting, I am sure with the hard fork approaching it will get higher as well and after the hard fork if staking is an option I am pretty sure there will be less and less people selling and more people staking, so this is a good assumption.
